- Presidents aren't elected directly by the voters.
- The electoral college is not a school.
- The electoral college is a group of people chosen every 4 years who elect the President and Vice-President of the United States.
- The electoral college is made up of delegates or electors.
- The larger the state the more electors the state gets. For example, Californa has 55 electors and Vermont has 3.
- A candidate can win the popular vote but lose the election. Like in 2000, Al Gore won the popular vote but lost the election because George Bush won the electoral college vote.
- A candidate must get over 270 electoral college votes to become president.
- In December, the electoral college casts their votes and on January 6, the votes are counted and the president is oficially elected.
